Valentina Feroz Says She Knew Nothing About Pro-Wrestling Before Joining NXT

Valentina Feroz talks about joining the world of Wrestling.

Valentina Feroz joined NXT as a member of the August 2019 class of the WWE Performance Center on August 14, 2019. She has become a part of a tag team with Yulisa Leon, including being a part of the 2022 Edition of the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Despite this, it was revealed that she was fairly new to the world of professional wrestling.

Speaking with Quetzalli Bulnes in WWE En Espanol Show "El Brunch" (alongside Yulisa Leon), Feroz revealed that she was not familiar with the world of wrestling before signing to WWE, revealing that she has been learning by being a part of the NXT roster. Feroz said the following:

"When I arrived at NXT, I did not know anything about Pro-Wrestling. I knew about Judo, I knew about Jujitsu, and that was really good for me. I learned everything here, from how to fly, how to work a punch, learning how to be a character, and how to be a great wrestler. I am all doing my preparation in the biggest wrestling company in the world. For me, this was something to have pride in, as I am learning more and more every day, especially as a part of a tag team (with Yulisa Leon), and, personally, I keep trying to improve in order to represent all of us (Latinos) and we want to go to the top, and I and Yulisa are working hard to do so. As Yulisa always says, it can be done and there is no impossible when we have faith, courage, and determination to get where we want to be."

Feroz is scheduled for a #1 Contender's Match for the NXT Women's Championship, teaming up with Yulisa Leon against the team of Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, formerly known as Kacy Catanzaro, for the 4/26/2022 edition of NXT. You can read more about the announcement of the match here.
